See every featureStocky is gone. Provido is the replacement for the two things it did that nothing else has: forecasting and purchase orders. It reads twelve months of sales history and forecasts demand for every variant at every location. The maths is deterministic rather than AI, so the same numbers always give the same answer and every reorder shows its working.
Stocky is shutting down on August 31, 2026. Stockward covers the same ground. It reads your sales history and stock levels, then shows what to reorder, how much, and when, for every SKU. Group suggestions into purchase orders by supplier, send them as CSV or print them, and mark them received when stock arrives. Bring your suppliers, costs and lead times in from a single CSV file.
- Demand forecasts per variant and location, with seasonality and trend
- Every reorder explained in plain English, with the numbers behind it
- Purchase orders drafted by supplier, sent only when you approve
- Receive a delivery and your Shopify inventory updates with it
- Reorder suggestions per SKU: demand, days of cover, reorder point, quantity
- Purchase orders grouped by supplier, exportable as CSV or printable
- One-click import of your Stocky export: suppliers, costs, lead times
- Adjustable lead time, coverage and service level, recalculated live
